Definitions

  • Wireless devices today operate in one of three radio modes - TRAFFIC, STANDBY or OFF.
  • the device In both TRAFFIC and STANDBY modes, the device periodically sends control information to and receives control information from other wireless transmitters (usually fixed towers and/or other wireless devices) independent of any user data transmission.
  • the OFF mode the device is separated from the network, and it does not send or receive any information (whether for control or for data purposes).
  • Devices change to the OFF mode for multiple reasons - two typical reasons being to conserve power and to avoid sending RF signals in restricted environments like hospitals and airplanes. However, it takes considerable time to reconnect with the network and communicate data messages when the device switches from the OFF mode to the TRAFFIC mode.
  • the device When the device remains powered on and not in TRAFFIC mode, it stays in STANDBY mode. In STANDBY mode, the device camps on a control channel, decodes system information and periodically transmits signals to the network announcing its whereabouts. However, transmitting periodic signals drains device power and uses resources of the network. It would be beneficial to conserve network resources and conserve power for the device without having the lengthy reconnect time from the OFF mode.
  • WO02/09464 describes a method for improved cell selection for multi-mode radio stations in the idle state by allocating priorities to network information of stations and networks on the basis of the signal strength of their signals.
  • a method for listening on a cell of a wireless network the method in accordance with claim 1.
  • a wireless communication device in accordance with claim 13.
  • a further aspect of the invention provides a computer program product as defined in claim 14.
  • the invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a process, an apparatus, a system, a composition of matter, a computer readable medium such as a computer readable storage medium or a computer network wherein program instructions are sent over optical or communication links.
  • these implementations, or any other form that the invention may take, may be referred to as techniques.
  • a component such as a processor or a memory described as being configured to perform a task includes both a general component that is temporarily configured to perform the task at a given time or a specific component that is manufactured to perform the task.
  • the order of the steps of disclosed processes may be altered within the scope of the invention.
  • a LISTEN mode comprises camping on a cell of a wireless network until a registration condition is satisfied.
  • One or more available cells are determined for a wireless device.
  • One or more available networks are determined based at least in part on the one or more available cells.
  • a network is selected based at least in part on one or more network selection criteria.
  • a cell is selected of the selected network. The selected cell is camped on wherein camping enables receiving control channel information from the selected cell of the selected network.
  • the wireless device is registered on the selected network using control channel information.
  • the device listens for the wireless signals from the various transmitters, but does not transmit any signals out. In this state, the device remains camped on a control channel decoding system information and can keep track of the "Control channel(s)" in the surrounding radio environment.
  • the device can switch to TRAFFIC or STANDBY state a lot faster - resulting in much better customer experience; 2) the device can use some of the surrounding radio environment information to decide to switch to STANDBY mode and transmit data/ receive information; 3) the device can switch to STANDBY or TRAFFIC mode a lot faster, when the user initiates an activity; 4) the device can store the information about the surrounding radio environment for other applications (for example, to report on the signal strength at various locations); 5) the device conserves power because transmitting signals as is done in STANDBY mode requires a lot more power as compared to just receiving signals as is done in LISTEN mode; 6) the device does not register or do location updates with the network- saving network resources, and hence cost, on its signaling channels in both wireless and wired infrastructure; 7) the device is "anonymous" - others do not know about its existence and it does not need to authenticate itself in the LISTEN mode.
  • the registration condition comprises having data to send, having not registered for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 2 days), a user indication to register, one or more user actions, or any other appropriate registration condition.
  • a previous network selection is used to help determine the current network selected.
  • the wireless network comprises a cell phone network, a WiFiTM network, a WiMaxTM network, a CDMA network, a GSM network, a GPRS network, a TDMA network, or any other appropriate wireless network.
  • LISTEN mode keeps track of the Control Channel and enumerates all information elements - including signal strength (e.g., signal strength from one or more available cells), nearby cells, neighboring cell identifiers, network identifiers, location area identifiers, cell identifiers, location information, etc.
  • signal strength e.g., signal strength from one or more available cells
  • nearby cells e.g., neighboring cell identifiers, network identifiers, location area identifiers, cell identifiers, location information, etc.
  • control channel information from the camped on cell is stored and the stored information includes signal strength from one or more of the available cells and location information.
  • location information is derived from GPS derived location information.
  • Control Channel information elements are used to trigger other events on device or to perform predetermined operations on the device, including communicating with the wireless network and/or third-party devices and servers - for example, the time is after a predetermined time (i.e., a rental car should be returned on a certain day; the device is triggered to send a message on that day indicating the location of the car) or the wireless device is located in a predetermined prohibited geographic area (i.e., a rental car should only be driven in the USA and not Mexico; the device is triggered to send a message when it enters Mexico as identified by a Mexican cell tower).
  • a predetermined time i.e., a rental car should be returned on a certain day; the device is triggered to send a message on that day indicating the location of the car
  • a predetermined prohibited geographic area i.e., a rental car should only be driven in the USA and not Mexico; the device is triggered to send a message when it enters Mexico as identified by a Mexican cell tower.
  • Control Channel information elements are stored for signal-strength reporting/location-tracking and other purposes (e.g., a rental car should only be driven in the USA not Mexico, the device stores cell tower identification information so that on return of the car the rental agency can determine if the car was driven near a Mexican cell and hence beyond the parameters of the rental contract).
  • mapping between "radio world” and GPS information is stored, if available, and this mapping is used for getting approximate GPS information for other devices when they do not get GPS signals.
  • a cellular device that is simply in a STANDBY mode all the time without user doing any voice or data transactions still represent cost for the carrier. This is because in the standby mode the device still sends occasional signaling messages to the base station, which costs money. In the LISTEN mode, however, the device does not send any signaling messages to the base station, yet it is able to conduct a transaction for the user without too much latency when asked to do so. This is achieved by the device passively listening so that it is aware of the closest base station and the system information, but not transmitting any messages.
  • camping is for an extended period of time where the network is not aware of the device, but the device is all but registered on the selected network.
  • control channel information is stored and refreshed in preparation for registering on a selected network.
  • One or more available cells are determined for a wireless device.
  • One or more available networks are determined based at least in part on the one or more available cells.
  • a network is selected based at least in part on one or more network selection criteria.
